Jacinto Molina (aka Paul Naschy)

[alex s]

Over the last week or so a couple of members of this thread have expreesed that they have never seen a Paul Naschy film. If you have any interest in Euro cult/horror then Paul Naschy is as essential viewing as Fulci/Argento/Lenzi etc.

Jacinto is most famous to Uk viewers for his film Werewolf & the Yeti which was one of the infamous 39 video nasties. He made a career out of playing Waldemar Daninsky a polish count who was also a Werewolf. This character first appeared in Frankensteins bloody terror, and has appeared in around 12 films to date, and quite openly states that it was inspired by Lon Chaney JR

Jacinto was born in Madrid in 1934 and spent was a national weightlifting/body building champion before going into films.

some essential viewing

Count Dracula's Great Love

My Hanging woman arrived today.I'm gonna give him a whirl soon.

As you may have seen elsewhere, I'm a huge fan of Naschy and have quite a few of his films. There are many I haven't seen though, and many that need a proper DVD release... Hint, hint Shameless!

[Philleh]

Hells yeah, Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll would be a perfect candidate for the Shameless Express!

[alex s]

yes Blue Eyes would be perfect for Shameless as would A Dragonfly For Each Corpse as well

Oooh. A Naschy thready


The Werewolf & The Yeti (1975)

Oooh. A Naschy reviewy (GET ON WITH IT). To say that if you want to be depraved by this, stick with Naked Attraction . Snowbound shenanigans as two highly sexed monsters try and outdo each other in the pervy stakes . The violent colour scheme assaults the retina. Highly Recommended.



The Hunchback Of The Morgue (1973)

Notorious for cough many reasons, this crazed cavalcade of claret coated corpses is also littered with Franco alumni, which just adds to the insanity. Uncut as far as I could see ahem.
That tartan waistcoat though

Excellent acting by the rats.

Yeah, it's been a while. My old dvd was quite dark during those scenes, but these are very bright. You miss nowt

The Traveller (1979, Jacinto Molina)

AKA The Devil Incarnate.
The N plays an upstanding sort
Whilst he doesn't sprout hair in the blink of a crash dissolve, he is still rather beastly for all that. Many delights, as the whole enterprise teeters on the edge of later Carry Ons in places ahem.
His prowess is prominent throughout
It all ends with a heartwarming message for all times.
Ahem.
